A burgeoning cottage industry caters to beleaguered smartphone users desperate to escape their screens.

Stumbled upon this article about the rising popularity of dumbphones.

Hope this community starts getting more traction :)

As for my journey, I am still on a “dumb smartphone” phase, an old phone with only Whatsapp and Spotify. I’ve been considering making the switch to a dumb phone or at least a candybar smartphone like the Qin F21.

    I agree with this, this is why I haven’t really made the switch. Tbh the appeal of the dumphone for me is mostly for the cool and nostalgic feel.

    But I do think that making this a “trend” and challenging the norm of the smartphone is a positive thing, and it’s nice to see people rocking dumb phones in this day and age.
